	Serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter. It is one of the key chemicals and hormones in the body and is affected by a large range of substances. Establishing a good understanding of how serotonin and its receptors function is key to understanding how psychoactive substances, along with a variety of other drugs, produce their effects. There is a wide variety of different substances that impact serotonin and its receptors: full/partial/inverse agonists, releasing agents, reuptake inhibitors, and antagonists. All of these interact with the serotonin system in different ways. Although there is too much research about serotonin to summarize here, the general structure, function, biosynthesis and receptors can be looked at. I do want to make it known however, that I am in no way a biochemist or an expert in this area. I have summarized the research I have found to the best of my ability.
